PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 21, 2009 – New York, NY, 2009 -- Edcomm Banker’s Academy has recently added the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF’s) 40 Recommendations on Money Laundering to its online library and resource center for Banks, Credit Unions and Money Services Businesses (MSBs) at www.bankersacademy.com/library.php. The library presents the important information that financial institutions around the world need to know about the FATF’s 40 Recommendations on Money Laundering in an organized and easy-to-use format.

Due to a growing concern over money laundering and the threat posed to the financial institutions, the FATF developed the 40 Recommendations on Money Laundering in 1990 to help countries effectively combat money laundering. Revised in 1996, the FATF’s 40 Recommendations provide a complete set of counter-measures against money laundering; covering the criminal justice system and law enforcement, the financial system and its regulation and international cooperation.

The Banker's Academy Library contains vital and current industry information such as regulatory references, forms, articles and other important documents. The library currently includes the full Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), Basel II and the FATF’s Nine Special Recommendations on Terrorist Financing, and will soon host USA PATRIOT Act, Reg P, Reg CC, Check 21, Reg D, Reg E, Reg Z, Truth in Lending (TILA), HMDA, FCRA, FACT Act (FACTA), HMDA, CRA, The United Nations' International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, and much more.
